Adoption is one of the most beautiful things that exists in the world, and while — like everything, including biological families — it can foster abuse, casually insinuating that for adoptive parents is despicable.
And yes, @DrIbram, it matters that you used the wrong picture:
These vile attacks are a perfect distillation of contemporary liberal discourse: it doesn’t matter what you do in your life, how you treat people, what actions you take — to be anti-racist, you must recite the right phrases & properly preen & posture (& buy Dr. Kendi’s book).
I can’t even fathom how rotted your soul has to be to attack people’s families like this for petty political gain. We endured it a lot in Brazil and what always leaves me amazed is the sociopathic contempt for the kids involved. Even if you hate ACB, why malign her family?
